Investing in Quality Furnishings Pays Off

By Myra Katz, December 2011

We've just completed updating Suburban OB-GYN's Waiting Room at Missouri Baptist Medical Center....one of the many.  Working at Famous Barr Commercial Interiors right out of college, I was introduced to one of my first clients, Jacob Klein, MD, who was launching his private practice.  He was excited, had his own sense of style, as well as progressive ideas of what would create the optimum OB-GYN environment for his patients. They worked then....and I'm proud to say they still do.  A leader in his profession and women's healthcare, he changed the stereotypical cold, impersonal and insensitive doctor's visit by adding wardrobe units in exam rooms, cloth gowns and heat lamps over the tables...to mention a few.  His practice and reputation continued to build while other physicians followed his lead. 

For his first Waiting Room,  Dr. Klein purchased the classic stainless steel  England Chair,  manufactured impeccably by Stow Davis, and a piece that holds a place in the Museum of Modern Art.  I've learned a lot from Jack over the years, handling his design needs from Private Office to Exam Room to Waiting Room, moves and renovations with each new lease he signed.  These chairs have been reupholstered at least 5 times, taking on a new life with each fabric selection.  It just demonstrates the benefits of investing in quality, classic furnishings.

Due to the slow process of cleaning up and rebuilding, Myra L. Katz & Associates, Inc. is extending its offer to businesses damaged or destroyed by the St. Louis and Joplin tornadoes and are challenging other businesses to follow suit. 

We are providing you with an opportunity to put your best foot forward while rebuilding.  A $500 credit will be applied towards the cost of interior design services, helping to jump start your business.  Let us assist you with the selection of interior finishes, furniture, upholstery and artwork.  We realize that this will not make-up for the devastation and losses you've suffered, but we would like to help you make the best of a bad situation.  It could finally be your opportunity to tie your business interior to your brand.  Whether corporate, financial, healthcare, senior living, hospitality or retail, we have the experience and capabilities to create an interior that will improve your bottom line. 

If this offer pertains to someone you know who will benefit from our services, please pass this information along.
